Matt Damon: Ben Affleck Was First Crush, Not Me!
9 Oct
Summary
- Luciana Barroso initially found Ben Affleck more attractive than Matt Damon.
- The encounter happened while watching the 1997 film Good Will Hunting.
- Matt Damon and Luciana Barroso met when she worked at a Miami bar.
Luciana Barroso, who is now married to Matt Damon, initially mistook Ben Affleck as the "cute one" when she saw the 1997 film "Good Will Hunting." Barroso and a friend saw the movie starring Damon, Affleck, and Robin Williams, with Barroso finding Affleck more attractive.
Damon learned of this crush months into their romance, joking that by the time Barroso met Affleck, her feelings for Damon had solidified. The couple's own meeting was a classic Hollywood meet-cute. Damon, filming in Miami, sought refuge behind a bar at a local establishment, and Barroso only allowed him to stay if he helped serve drinks.
They have been married since 2005 and share four daughters. Affleck also married Jennifer Garner in 2005, and they had three children before divorcing in 2018. Affleck later married Jennifer Lopez in 2022, with that union ending in early 2025.
